This is one of those "they fit, they work, what more can I say" sort of reviews.
They fit.
They work.
So, yeah... Five stars :)
Oh I will add that they come in a handy velcro roll up carrying case with individual pockets to keep the lenses from scraping against one another

So THAT'S what a good drone flies like...

The Mavic is actually my third drone / quadcopter and I've had it for about a month now. I'd purchased a very cheap Syma drone to see if I liked droning - I mean flying a drone, not going on and on like I am now :)
With the cheap Syma it turns out I did not like it at all. It couldn't handle any wind to speak of, the controls were alternately too sensitive and too sluggish, and I have to admit that I lost interest pretty quickly.
A few months later a spiffy little thing called the Micro Drone caught my eye. It was much better, though I did manage to bust up eight of the tiny props in the first few days. Despite the littered wreckage of buster props I decided I'd give something a little more substantial a go. Initially I was considering the DJI Spark, but by the time I added the remote control it was close enough in price to the Mavic - which has a much better camera and longer flight time.
Flying it could not be easier. Charge the batteries, go outside - the Mavic has two GPS systems to manage its exact position with almost frightening accuracy - do a quick calibration of the inertial movement sensors and compass, connect your phone, and tap the auto take off button in the DJI Go app. The drone takes off and hovers about four feet off the ground waiting for you.
Tap the auto land button and it will settle down to the ground on its own.
There you go. The first nerve wracking flight is over, now you can concentrate on having fun with it. I tested mine in a local park - a non-State park because Texas state parks are no fly zones - and looking at the video I shot I was hard pressed to believe that it wasn't coming from a tripod because it's perfectly still thanks to the camera gimbal which instantly corrects the image if the Mavic has to deal with a winds.
The Mavic is equipped with forward pointing object avoidance sensors to help keep you from crashing. There's a pair of downward facing sensors to aid in return to home and auto landing. Through the DJI Go app you can activate several "Intelligent Flight Modes" which include "Follow" - the ability to select a person or object and have the drone follow them, "Orbit" - the ability to have the drone fly a circle around a person or object, "Terrain Tracking" - keep the drone at a specific distance from the ground as it flies, and a bunch more.
I sound like a sales pitch I know, but I really love this thing. There's a huge online community where you can find tons of suggestions, tutorials, and technical assistance, plus just tons of beautiful videos shot from Mavics.

Kind of a no brainer for me

I'm sort of an oddity in that I don't exactly use TVs for watching television. I stream things from Netflix, Amazon, and I've ripped all of my DVDs so that I can serve them up from Plex without needing the actual discs any more. A few months ago I picked up a TV with a Roku system built into it and went from watching things on my tablet to watching things on a TV.
And still on my tablet cause it's hard to lug the 50 inch TV around the house :)
When I had house guests coming for the holidays I decided to move the old TV that I used as a monitor into the guest room and picked up the Roku Express so they could watch things as well.
It was easy to set up, and works like a champ.
If I could wish for a change it would be that the Roku could pull power from the TV directly but I don't know that such a thing is even possible via HDMI, so I'm not complaining.

I guess I'm an early "cord cutter" since I've not had any cable ot satellite services in about 10 years. I mainly watch either streaming or digital content from iTunes / Amazon / Google Play, so I've been using either a tablet or my computer. As a result I haven't owned a TV in seven or eight years, and haven't bought one in more than 10.
I purchased this TV on sale for $299 at my local store and I'm very pleased with it. It's no where near as fancy and feature heavy as the wall encompassing sets some of my friends have, but the picture is very clear, the sound is okay - I'm a little hard of hearing so take my opinion on sound with a grain of salt - and the built in Roku system is especially great for me.
This is the first time I've used Roku and it took about 10 minutes to get my Netflix, Plex, and Amazon set up as well as a couple of other channels I'd not heard of before.
Next comes figuring out how to make it work with my Amazon Echo :)

Easy to put on and take off and NOT SLIPPERY!

Seriously Samsung, could you make the S6 Edge any slicker and harder to hold on to?
I've had a bunch of different styles of cases for various mobile phones over the years and have come to the conclusion that simple is what I want. This case fits that bill perfect.y It slips on and off easily, but it's snug enough that I can just slip the metal plate used by my magnetic dashboard mount rather than having to actually attach it using the adhesive on the plate. The case is also thin enough that it doesn't interfere with the wireless QI charging - unless I forget and leave the metal plate for dashboard mount in the case :)

Its three-axis gimbal system provides smooth shots, and the one-tap time-lapse feature of this DJI Osmo Mobile holder lets you capture fast-forward images.
Would this DJI - Osmo Mobile Gimbal Stabilizer work with a Samsung Note?
I'm using it with my Note 8 - and just to be a daredevil it's still in a silicone case. I did have to add a few grams of counter balance to the gimbal arm to level it but since then it's worked great.
